Please read the description of these programs on the reverse side of this page, then follow the instructions below for completing the application.  \nHere's what to do if you wish to apply for a Prohibitory Order against a particular mailer whose advertising offers to sell matter you consider erotically arousing or sexually provocative.  \n Complete the Application for Prohibitory Order section on page 2 and 3.  \n If applicable, complete the Information About Your Children section, providing full names and birth dates.  \n Provide mailer information.  \n Sign and date the application in the Authorization section and submit it with the offending mailpiece (which must be opened) to any Post Office™ . Keep pages 1 and 3 for your records.  \nWhen your application has been processed, we will send you information about the effective date of your order and the procedure for reporting a violation of your protected status.  \nThe Prohibitory Order program provides a deterrent to continued mailings by a specific mailer advertising a product or service you consider erotically arousing or sexually provocative. Your Prohibitory Order would be violated if, 30 days or more after receiving it, the mailer sends you any further mail.  \nHere's how to be placed on the Postal Service’s list of those not wishing to receive sexually oriented advertisements through the mail.  \n Complete the Application for Listing section on page 2 and 3.  \n If applicable, complete the Information About Your Children section, providing full names and birth dates.  \n Sign and date the application in the Authorization section and submit it to any Post Office. Keep pages 1 and 3 foryour records.  \nWhen your application has been processed, we will send you information about the effective date of your listing and the procedure for reporting a violation of your protected status.  \nThe prohibitory list provides a deterrent to the mailing of unsolicited sexually oriented advertisements to protected persons. It would be a violation of your protected status if anyone makes such a mailing to you when your name and address have been on the list more than 30 days.  \nAdditional Instructions  \n The application must be legible and complete. (Please Print.)  \n Use the name and address by which you customarily receive mail.  \n If there is insufficient room to list all minor children, continue the list using page 2 of an additional PS Form 1500. Be sure to sign the continuation page in the Authorization section.  \nPostal Service Programs for Protection Against Unwanted Sexually Oriented Mail  \nIf you are offended by receiving unwanted sexually oriented advertising in your mail, or are concerned about your minor children being exposed to such advertising, there are two programs you can use to help protect yourself and your children.  \nApplication for Prohibitory Order  \nUnder the Pandering Advertisements Statute, 39 USC 3008, if you are the addressee of an advertisement, and consider the matter (product or service) that it offers for sale to be \"erotically arousing or sexually provocative,\" you can obtain a Prohibitory Order against the mailer. You apply for the order by submitting the entire advertising mailpiece (the original, NOT a photocopy) with a properly completed application (page 2 of this form) . Please note: Even if there is an offer to sell a product or service stated on the exterior of the mailpiece, if the piece has a sealed envelope, cover, or wrapper, please be sure it is opened before you submit your application.  \nMinor children who has not attained the age of 19 years and residing with you may be included in the ","cbCaikrz91FggFVw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikrz91FggFVw","pdf",622250,5,"English","# Application for Prohibitory Order\n## Instructions to complete and submit\n# Application for Listing\n## Instructions to complete and submit\n# Submitting Your Application\n## Processing, effective dates, and violation reporting","[{\"question\":\"What is a Prohibitory Order in this application, and when is it effective?\",\"answer\":\"A Prohibitory Order directs a mailer to make no mailings to anyone named in the order.
